This small town serves as the perfect base for exploring nearby Seljalandsfoss waterfall and the volcanic wonders of Hekla. Book local horse riding tours to experience the unique Icelandic landscape from a completely different perspective.

From the gravel road you don’t see much, just a dusty parking lot and a car or two. There must be something hidden in the mountains, so you stop. Tucked in plain sight, just a few miles from some of Iceland’s most famed attractions, hides a mystical canyon. With the road less taken, the real #adventure always begins.
